A simplified histology illustration depicts an intestinal epithelial cell (enterocyte) with an apical brush border of MV (microvilli) projecting into the lumen. The purple oval represents the nucleus with a visible nucleolus within the cytoplasm. In biological hierarchy, this cell resides within the simple columnar epithelium of the intestinal mucosa, an organ component of the gastrointestinal system. In anatomy and physiology, enterocytes mediate absorption and transport of nutrients; BB (brush border) microvilli increase surface area to facilitate digestion and uptake.
